Not just running once a week or month. It will be good for a reasonable level of continuous usage as well. The "machine hours" are based on the actual processing time. <quote> You can get started with SimpleDB for free. Amazon SimpleDB users pay no charges on the first 25 Machine Hours, 1 GB of Data Transfer, and 1 GB of Storage that you consume every month. In most use cases, approximately 2,000,000 GET or SELECT API requests can be completed per month before incurring any usage charges. </quote> That works out at about 2,700 per hour/45 per minute continuously. Even if you are pulling complex data sets which take a couple of seconds, the 25 hours equates to 45,000 requests or about 60 per hour/1 per minute continuously for the month. -- Stuart On 27 Sep 2009 at 12:38, Gustav Brock wrote: > Hi all > > Well, this special cloud db _is_ really simple but may be useful in some special cases. > It is even free for limited use: 25 hours/month and 1 GB storage, which may be fine for some purpose running once a week or month: > > http://aws.amazon.com/simpledb/ > > /gustav > > > -- > AccessD mailing list > AccessD at databaseadvisors.com > http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd > Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
